hi all I am trying to filter emails to a user (weather) based on the subject: :0 *^Subject:.*Weather | /usr/bin/formail | /path/to/executable *^Subject:.*Tornado | /usr/bin/formail | /path/to/executable All it does is deliver the email to the weather inbox. For testing I tried. echo 1 | mail -s "Tornado" weather Enabling verbose and log file gives me: From root at devcentos5x64.msgnet.com Fri Mar 13 10:04:07 2009 Subject: Tornado Folder: /var/mail/weather 671 Seems like it should work... What did I miss. Jerry
